4MOTION all-wheel driveAn all wheel drive system that provides the best possible traction at all road speeds, in all weather and road

conditions. An electronically controlled multi-plate clutch directs torque to the axle with the best traction.

When operating under a relatively low load or when coasting, power is primarily distributed to the front

axle, thus saving fuel. However, the rear axle can be variably engaged in fractions of a second whenever

necessary, even before any wheel starts to slip and therefore reducing the potential for a loss of traction.

The wheels of the Tiguan are prevented from spinning even when driving off and accelerating.

Activation of the multi-plate clutch is based primarily on the engine torque demanded by the driver. In

parallel, a system within the all-wheel drive control unit evaluates such parameters as wheel speeds and

steering angle.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an extension of the conventional cruise control system with advanced

capabilities based on a radar sensor. When ACC is activated, the vehicle automatically brakes and

accelerates to a speed and distance set by the driver.

If the Tiguan approaches a slower vehicle, the ACC brakes the car to the same speed and maintains the

pre-selected distance. Even when a vehicle pulls into the same lane in front of you or slows, your vehicle

is automatically decelerated to the pre-selected distance. If the vehicle ahead moves out of your lane, the

Tiguan then accelerates up to the pre-set desired speed.

Deceleration of the vehicle may take place via intervention in the engine management system. If

deceleration via engine torque is not sufficient, brake intervention takes place, braking the vehicle to a

standstill if the traffic situation necessitates in vehicles equipped with a DSG transmission. ACC can be

reactivated automatically by depressing the accelerator pedal.

The dynamics of the ACC system can by individually varied by selecting one of the driving programs from

the driver profile selector.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles. The ACC system should not be used on winding roads or in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)When braking, wheel speed sensors measure the road wheel speed and should one or more wheels start

to lock the ABS system reduces brake pressure to that wheel. This prevents the wheels from locking during

heavy or emergency braking, enabling the vehicle to remain steerable.

Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)ASR is a switchable traction control system that prevents the wheels from spinning under acceleration by

reducing engine torque.

Auto Hold functionAs soon as the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the ABS hydraulic unit stores the vehicles final braking

pressure. So even when you take your foot off the brake pedal, all four wheels brakes remain applied,

providing increased comfort in stationary traffic. This function is released automatically when you drive off

again.

Brake AssistDuring emergency braking, Brake Assist aids the driver by increasing the brake pressure automatically to a

level exceeding the locking limit. The ABS is thus quickly brought into the operating range, which enables

maximum vehicle deceleration to be achieved.

Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG)DSG is a manual gearbox in which the gearshifts are controlled electronically. What makes the DSG unique

is that it has 2 separate gear sets operated by 2 clutches. The benefit of 2 gear sets and 2 clutches is that

one gear set and clutch is engaged driving the vehicle with the second disengaged clutch having already

pre-selected the next gear awaiting for power to be transferred. As the next gear has already been pre-

selected prior to power being applied, the gear change only takes 3-4 100ths of a second. There is virtually

no interruption to power, traction or acceleration. The DSG also offers Tiptronic gear selection and sports

mode.

Driving Profile Selection with 4MOTION Active Control Driving profile selection provides the driver with a wide-ranging choice of settings that can be made to the

vehicle according to the driver’s preferences. The driver has the option of choosing between the following

driving profiles: Normal, Sport, Eco, Comfort (with optional R-Line) and Individual. The Normal profile offers

a comfortable but dynamic driving style. Sport provides faster response of the accelerator pedal, sportier

damping and steering, while the DSG switches to Sport mode. Eco mode has been designed to enhance fuel

efficiency by including coasting function and by adapting engine performance, earlier gearshift points and

consumption-optimised control of the air conditioning system. Comfort mode offers a more relaxed and

comfortable driving experience, primarily through the softer suspension setting of the adaptive chassis

control. The Individual setting allows the driver to separately set various parameters including steering,

engine, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and air conditioning.

4MOTION Active Control provides for the convenient selection of on-road and off-road driving profiles

for model equipped with 4MOTION by means of a rotary dial. Rotating the dial selects one of four special

all-wheel drive modes: Snow, On-road, Off-road (automatic configuration of the off-road parameters) and

Off- road individual (variable settings).

*Optional Equipment

14 Glossary

GlossaryElectronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)Electronic, more sophisticated means of regulating the ratio of front/rear brake pressure. Settings are varied according to driving and load conditions to ensure each wheel is braked to the optimum extent.

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)EDL improves driving and steering characteristics when accelerating on road surfaces where each wheel has a different degree of traction. The system operates automatically and is combined with the ABS system. Using the ABS wheel sensors, EDL monitors the speed of the individual driving wheels. When a difference in driving wheel speed is detected (i.e. when one wheel starts to spin due to differences in road surfaces, e.g. due to water or dirt) the system brakes the spinning wheel, transferring engine power to the wheel with the best traction.

Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)ABS, EDL and ASR traction control systems are integrated into the Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP). In short, ESP helps ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it even in extreme driving conditions. The ESP system constantly compares the actual movement of the vehicle with pre-determined values and should a situation arise where the vehicle starts to skid, ESP will apply the brakes to individual wheels and automatically adjust the engine’s power output to correct the problem. ESP prevents the vehicle from losing control when trying to avoid an accident, for example. It also reduces the effects of understeer or oversteer.

Emergency Assist*Emergency Assist monitors the driving characteristics and recognises, within the limits of the system, if the driver suddenly becomes incapable of driving (due to the vehicle not being controlled).

Emergency Assist detects a lack of activity on the part of the driver and issues repeated visual and acoustic warnings and initiates a quick jolt of the brakes to request the driver to take control of the vehicle.

If the driver remains inactive, the system automatically controls acceleration, braking and steering to slow the vehicle down and keep it in the lane. If there is sufficient stopping distance, the system decelerates the vehicle to a complete stop and switches on the electronic parking brake automatically.

When Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the hazard warning lights are switched on and the vehicle performs a slight snaking motion within its lane to warn other road users. Ideally this will prevent a collision, or at least reduce its severity.

Emergency Assist cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles. Emergency Assist utilises both the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist driver assistance systems. The ACC system should not be used on winding roads or in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain. The system will not work if there are no recognisable lane markings. The camera vision can be reduced by rain, snow, heavy spray or oncoming lights. This and vehicles in front of you can lead to the lane markings not being recognised by the Lane Assist system.

Extended Electronic Differential Lock (XDL)XDL is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) function. When cornering, XDL responds to the load relief at the driven wheel/s on the inside of a corner. The ESP hydraulics are used for the XDL to apply pressure to the wheel on the inside of the corner in order to prevent wheel spin. This improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer. As a direct result of the one-sided and precise braking pressure, cornering is sportier and more accurate.

Fatigue DetectionThe driver Fatigue Detection system automatically analyses the driving characteristics and indicate possible fatigue, recommends that the driver takes a break. The system continually evaluates steering wheel movements along with other signals in the vehicle on motorways and others roads at speeds in excess of 60km/h, and calculates a fatigue estimate. If fatigue is detected, the driver is warned by information in the Multi-function Display and an acoustic signal. The warning is repeated after 15 minutes if the driver has not taken a break.

Fatigue Detection cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and therefore determining whether or not they are fit to drive. A driving time of 15 minutes is required in order to assess the driver correctly. The functionality of the system is restricted given a sporty driving style. winding roads and poor road surfaces.

Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) and Pedestrian Monitoring functionsThe Front Assist ambient traffic monitoring system uses a radar sensor to detect critical distance situations and thus help to shorten the braking distance, reducing the risk of a rear-end collision.

The traffic ahead is monitored constantly by the radar at the front. If a vehicle is detected ahead of you in the lane, the distance and the speed relative to it are calculated. If the gap is closing too fast, Front Assist initially warns the driver by means of an audible as well as a visual signal. At the same time, the brake pads are brought into contact with the brake discs and the sensitivity of the Brake Assist is increased. This primes the braking system for a possible emergency stop. Furthermore, an automatic jolt of the brakes warns the driver of the danger. If the driver also fails to react to the warning jolt, Front Assist brakes automatically, helping to avoid a collision or reduce the severity of the accident.

The City Emergency Brake (City EB) function is a radar based emergency braking system designed to help a driver avoid a low-speed crash or to reduce its severity. At vehicle speeds below 30km/h, City EB monitors the area ahead of the car for vehicles which might present a threat of collision. If a collision is likely, City Emergency Braking first pre-charges the brakes and makes the emergency Brake Assist system more sensitive: if the driver should notice the risk, the car is ready to respond more quickly to their braking action. However, if the driver still takes no action and a collision becomes imminent, City Emergency Braking independently applies the brakes very hard. If the driver intervenes to try to avoid the accident, either by accelerating hard or by steering, City EB will deactivate and allow the driver to complete the avoidance manoeuvre.

Pedestrian Monitoring is an extension of the Front Assist monitoring system featuring the City Emergency Brake. The system uses a radar sensor to monitor the area in front of the vehicle and within the limits of the system, register certain situations, for example a pedestrian stepping onto the road suddenly. It firstly gives an acoustic and visual signal to warn the driver, then prepares the vehicle for hard braking. If the driver fails to react, the system automatically performs emergency braking; Ideally this will prevent a collision, or at least reduce its severity

Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) and Pedestrian Monitoring cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles.

Lane AssistLane Assist is a lane departure warning system that is designed to help reduce the likelihood of the vehicle leaving the road or crossing into on oncoming lane and therefore the risk of accident as a result of driver distraction or a lapse in concentration.

The Lane Assist system monitors the road ahead with the aid of a camera (located near the interior rear-view mirror) which recognises lane markings and evaluates the position of the vehicle. If the vehicle starts to leave the lane, the Lane Assist system takes corrective steering action. If this is not sufficient the driver is warned about the situation by a steering vibration and is asked to take over the steering. Additionally, if no active steering movements by the driver are recognised for longer than approximately 8 seconds, a message will appear in the Multi-Function Display in conjunction with a warning tone. The corrective steering function can be overridden by the driver at any time and the system does not react if the turn indicator is set before crossing a lane marking.

When adaptive lane guidance* is active and the system detects both lane markings to the left and right of the vehicle, the function provides permanent assistance while the vehicle is in motion. The system adopts the preffered position within the lane in which the vehicle is travelling. For example, if the vehicle is being driven slightly off-centre in the lane, the system will learn to adopt the new position within a short period of time.

Lane Assist cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and therefore staying in the lane at all times. The system will not work if there are no recognisable lane markings. The camera vision can be reduced by rain, snow, heavy spray or oncoming lights. This and vehicles in front of you can lead to the lane markings not being recognised by the Lane Assist system. The Lane Assist system does not activate at a vehicle speed of less than 65km/h.

Manoeuvre braking Manoeuvre braking assists the driver to avoid or reduce damage in a potential collision by initiating emergency braking. It supports the driver during reverse manoeuvring in a speed range of a maximum 10 km/h. If the risk for an accident is recognised, emergency braking is initiated to minimise possible damage. Manoeuvre braking is activated in the rear when reverse gear is selected or if the vehicle is rolling backwards.Park Assist cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle. If the driver notices a risk that pedestrians, other vehicles or objects could be damaged or if they are uncertain of the risk, they will need to react accordingly and stop the vehicle, ending the function.

Manoeuvre braking cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle. The object must be detected by the sensors. If the driver notices a risk that pedestrians, other vehicles or objects could be damaged they need to react accordingly and stop the vehicle.

Multi-collision brakeThe multi-collision brake has been designed to provide effective assistance for the driver in the moments after an accident. Multi-collision brake triggers automatic controlled braking once an initial collision has been detected so as to reduce the intensity of further accidents after a collision and can help prevent follow-on collisions with oncoming traffic.

The triggering of the multi-collision brake is based on a collision being detected by the airbag sensors. The ESP control unit limits the deceleration of the vehicle by the multi-collision brake to a defined value and vehicle speed. The vehicle can still be controlled by the driver, even when automatic braking is taking place. The driver can interrupt the multi-collision braking at any time by accelerating or braking even more strongly.

Park Assist The third generation Park Assist system actively helps the driver when entering or reversing into 90º parking bays, as well as reversing into and driving out of parallel parking spaces. The system works by using sensors mounted either side of the front and rear bumpers together with parking distance sensors front and rear. To park, the driver simply presses the Park Assist button to select the type of parking manoeuvre and uses the appropriate indicator as the car slowly passes the potential parking space. Sensors scan the size of the parking space as the car is driven past and the driver is alerted if the parking space is big enough. If there is sufficient space, the driver stops the car, selects the correct gear and lets go of the steering wheel.

Park Assist will alert the driver of the intended path and subsequently the appearance of obstacles in the Multi-Function Display, within the driver’s field of vision. Park Assist then actively supports the driver by taking over the steering control and parks the vehicle in the available space using the ideal course, if necessary with several moves. The driver can however take over the control of the steering at any time and end the automatic parking procedure.

Park Assist cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle. If the driver notices a risk that pedestrians, other vehicles or objects could be damaged or if they are uncertain of the risk, they will need to react accordingly and stop the vehicle, ending the function.

Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert*Side Assist, is a lane change assistant that detects vehicles on the right and left hand side of the lane, in the blind spot and those vehicles coming nearer behind. The system informs with a warning light in the exterior mirror whenever a detected vehicle is close and a lane change would be dangerous. If the driver sets the indicator, the warning light begins to flash. Rear Traffic Alert warns the driver of approaching traffic at the rear of the car when reversing via an audible warning followed by a visual message in the Optical Parking System (OPS).

Side Assist also works in conjunction with the Lane Assist system. If another vehicle is in the blind spot during a lane change, the dual assist system warns the driver by means of flashing LEDs in the right-hand or left-hand exterior mirror and by vibrations on the steering wheel. It also supports the driver by means of a corrective steering intervention. This procedure occurs regardless of the state of the turn indicators.

Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles.

Traffic Jam Assist*In congested traffic situations, Traffic Jam Assist makes driving significantly more comfortable and helps to avoid typical rear-end collision accidents. The Traffic Jam Assist function combines the driver assistance systems Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist with adaptive lane guidance.In a speed range of 0-60km/h, the system automatically controls acceleration, braking, steering and if required, will decelerate to a stop behind a vehicle that is stopping.

Traffic Jam Assist cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles. Traffic Jam Assist has been developed for use only on motorways.
